Two stylised candidates sit behind a wide table with tabletop microphones, framed by a simple stone arch and patches of cloud.

Finished editorial illustration in chunky limited-palette pixel art, 16:9 landscape. A comically broad terracotta forum table occupies the lower-left two-thirds of a historic civic courtyard. Behind it sit two fictional candidates: one elongated with narrow shoulders, the other squat with a broad asymmetric jacket. The tall candidate makes one simple open-hand gesture while the other listens. Two small tabletop microphones establish a public candidate forum; no audience. Minimal faces, simple block-shaped hands, clearly separated silhouettes. A single oversized old stone arch frames the pair, with broken ivory clouds visible through its opening. Leave the right third mostly open. Five-colour palette: warm ivory, sandstone, terracotta, muted teal and charcoal. Crisp square-pixel edges throughout; broad irregular colour blocks suggest hand-drawn marker energy without smooth contours or intricate texture. Soft daylight, minimal shadows, legible at thumbnail size. No text, logos or watermarks.
